Boss kill count
Boss kill count, boss killcount or boss kc refers to the total amount of times a boss has been slain by the player. Raids are also commonly referred to as boss kc, since you have to fight a couple of mini-bosses and a final boss at the end.
Almost all bosses and raids have dedicated in-game combat achievement pages as well as a collection log which shows the player's boss kill count aswell as other usefull information and drops that have been obtained.
Boss kill count (listed on the HiScores as Score) was added to the HiScores on 5 December 2019. The release of the Boss HiScores caused the page to become under heavy load, making them load and update slowly. To mitigate this Jagex raised the minimum for bosses to be featured to 50 kills initially but following some behind-the-scenes work around 15 February 2023 they have been lowered gradually, and as of 17 May 2023 you only need to have killed a boss or complete an activity at least 5 times. This is true for all bosses and activities, except for The Mimic and TzKal-Zuk, which require just 1 kill count to be featured due to the rarity of their kill count.
